Agenda
• Q3 Guidance
• Update - Display
Update – Display
What we said needed to happen in the third quarter:
• Normal end market seasonality
• Reduction in panel inventory levels
• Increase in panel maker utilization rates
If these occurred, we expected to see an improvement in the supply chain and sequential LCD glass volume growth
Update – DisplayWhat has occurred to date:
• Normal end market seasonality– End market trends remain on track
As a result, our glass demand has increased sequentially in July and August and is forecasted to increase in September
• Reduction in panel inventory levels– Panel inventory has fallen, but some excess remains– Sequential panel shipments increased in July and August– Slight increase in monitor panel pricing
• Increase in panel maker utilization rates– Taiwanese panel maker utilization rates increased on average from
70% in July to an estimated 80% in August
Update – Display
Looking forward:
• Continued reduction in panel inventory levels and improvement in panel maker utilization rates
• Seasonal demand and supply chain replenishment will influence second half glass demand
